What is Concrete Steel Cylinder Hot Tapping?

A concrete steel cylinder line also known as a pre-stressed concrete cylinder pipe (PCCP) is a common type of pressure pipe used by municipalities to transport water or wastewater. Its material construction is suitable for hot tapping (often referred to as wet or pressure tapping), which is the method of making a connection to existing piping or pressure vessels without the interrupting or emptying of that section of pipe or vessel. This technique allows the system to remain operable during routine maintenance or while modifications are being made to it.
